Chapter 20 - The Federal Wiretap
With Elizabeth in federal custody, Agent Sarah Jenkins offered her a full immunity deal in exchange for testifying against Apex leadership.
Elizabeth agreed, allowing the FBI to place a high-tech digital tap on her mobile device to record incoming syndicate directives.
At 4:00 PM, a call came through from Zurich, displaying an encrypted international number on the monitoring console.
"Did you confirm Victoria's arrival in Aspen?" a deep, accent-heavy European voice demanded over the tapped line.
"Yes, she leaves on her private jet tomorrow morning," Elizabeth lied smoothly, following the FBI script provided by Agent Jenkins.
"Excellent," the voice replied darkly. "Once her aircraft enters Colorado airspace, our tactical jet will force it down."
The call terminated, giving federal intelligence teams the exact frequency signature needed to trace the syndicate's master server.
"We have their location," Agent Jenkins announced with a triumphant smile. "Apex operates out of a private chalet near Lake Geneva."
